1. Uh oh, Bernie's still in the lead... the Bernie bashing chorus obviously needs more cowbell!!

Glad you're there booley... thanks for all your help in supporting the cause.


Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join the revolution!!

2. Not "still", but temporarily. Even if this poll holds, he'll get three big delegates more than #4...

Inasmuch as there are 1900+ delegates necessary to win the nomination, he's got about 1890+ to go.

Now, let's talk about South Carolina, shall we?

3. All the Democrats have far to go

Personally I remain hopeful.

I remember when Biden was over 30 points ahead and Sanders was supposed to have crashed and burned out before August.

And last i heard Sanders still leads in California.

Biden's only claim here is he is electable. But if he keeps losing ground, that will become an ever harder argument to make.

We will see.

13. More experienced, qualified, and accomplished. Appeals to a wider swath of Americans. Let us

not forget AA voters who support him as their political will should be more than a matter of expedience. I like the folks who have endorsed Biden and handle his campaign. Many object to many of Bernie’s connections. I could go on, but the point in sum is that Biden is not only electable, but a terrific candidate by a number of measures.

5. could you maybe inject those "excitement" smilies

into Biden voters? 'Cuz the excitement factor just isn't there. Bernie's supporters, on the other hand, have double the excitement factor of Biden voters.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

7. LOL Cher, it's the candidate... Joe just doesn't inspire the way Bernie does.

Most of the excitement is due to Bernie's bold progressive agenda, which working class folks can relate to... that excites the base, whereas a moderate incrementalist approach just doesn't generate the same level of excitement.

Welcome aboard the Bernie Express bullet train... next stop, the White House!!

10. So smilies equate to excitement and enthusiasm?

[DemocracyMouse]

15. Smile test:

Squint your eyes and stare at the following:

1) ENTHUSIASM

2)

Now which set was more exciting? As Yoda would say, don't think. Feel.

You've now completed your first media literacy class. (There were no right answers).

[George II]

17. So, how do we measure "excitement", is there an excite-o-meter somewhere? If we want....

....an "exciting" candidate maybe we should nominate Shaquille O'Neill or Michael Jordan?

We don't need an "exciting" candidate, we need one who can get us out of the mess we're in today. I'll take Biden over Sanders any day. At least Biden has a long career of accomplishment.

11. When it comes to the first contest in the nation it's more about perceptions

than delegates. Why do you think all of the major candidates except for Bloomberg are spending so much time and money in Iowa knowing that the best they can expect is a few delegates? It's because they hope to get momentum.

[Fiendish Thingy]

12. If Biden comes in fourth in IA and NH, the media narrative will put SC in play too

Count on it - this race is wide open for the top 4.

[booley]

4. Thank you

It felt wrong to be talking all the time and not getting engaged.

[RandiFan1290]

16. OK, Boomer

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

9. BOOOOOOOOMMM!! Next thing you know, Biden fans will be disparaging college students... in 3, 2, 1...

18. A big part of those college students either aren't qualified to vote or won't get out to vote.

[LeftTurn3623]

14. Where is Joe?

Hard to find him way down the list

[George II]

19. When all the delegates are tallied, he'll be at or near the top, no more than 2-3 delegates behind.
